The Space NK The Advent Calendar 2021 launched on the 17th of September, and it sold out in record time. It’s always one of the quickest advent calendars to sell out, and whilst this year’s calendar didn’t sell out as quick as the 2020 calendar, I feel very lucky to have one to unbox for you.
So I’m really sorry you can’t purchase this Space NK The Advent Calendar 2021 any more, I still wanted to show you what was inside, as it’s a really good calendar. I don’t know why retailers don’t make more calendars available, so they don’t sell out as quick, but keep on reading for my unboxing…
Space NK The Advent Calendar 2021
For the last two years, we’ve seen Space NK go for a book theme for their calendar, with volumes for the different product types. It was interesting the first year, but they literally did exactly the same the following year, and that kinda repetition is a little boring.
The Space NK The Advent Calendar 2021 is a large size, with a flimsy cardboard sleeve, which slides off to reveal different sized boxes. The calendar is cream in colour, with gold foil, and an art deco vibe to the design.
I have to be honest, this calendar was £199, and it really doesn’t feel or look very luxe. The cardboard is flimsy, and it doesn’t “look” like a luxury beauty advent calendar.
On each of the boxes, there’s a quote to hint at the product/s inside, and I like that, but out of all the beauty advent calendars I’ve unboxed for you, this is the least impressive looking calendar I’ve tried in the £150+ price bracket.
The Space NK The Advent Calendar 2021 was £199 to purchase, yet the contents inside the calendar are worth over £740, which is one of the best values we’ve seen from all of the 2021 beauty advent calendars this year.
So let’s take a look at what’s inside the Space NK The Advent Calendar 2021…
Day 1 is a two-product day, with the Sunday Riley CEO Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil 15ml and the Sunday Riley A+ High Dose Retinol Serum 5ml.
Day 2 is the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes Mascara 4ml.
Day 3 is the Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector 100ml which is full size and worth £26.

The very last day of the calendar is another full-sized product, and it’s the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask 64g, which is worth £42.
So that’s the entirety of the contents inside the Space NK The Advent Calendar 2021. As you can see, the contents are amazing, with some really popular, high-quality brands like Kate Somerville, Hourglass, Sunday Riley and Augustinus Bader. It’s such a shame it’s sold out already, but I’m excited to try all of the amazing products within the calendar.
